Peter Bradshaw Guardian The ordinary business of motivation is of far less importance than the general atmosphere of cartoony retribution and doom. It’s a potent slice of goth fantasy anarchy. Rated: 4/5 May 30, 2024 Full Review Anderson Jones Detroit Free Press The film is haunted by a reworked script that may be weighed down by Lee's memory, making it a bit of a morality play and a little faux sentimental. Rated: 2/4 Apr 26, 2022 Full Review Terrence Rafferty New Yorker Alex Proyas's pulp revenge fantasy, based on a comic-book saga by James O'Barr, is dark, moody, and seductively overwrought; it's an amazingly pure expression of morbid adolescent romanticism. Apr 10, 2013 Full Review Josh Larsen LarsenOnFilm ... dark, rainy, and askew, like Gotham on extreme tilt. Rated: 3/4 Jun 15, 2024 Full Review Jeffrey M. Anderson Combustible Celluloid What makes 'The Crow' work so well is its sheer intensity. It pulses with gothic energy, inky black nights and driving rain, long black hair and long black coats. Rated: 3/4 Jun 4, 2024 Full Review Nick Rogers Midwest Film Journal In all, the vibrance of "The Crow’s" emotional quotient remains as vivid as its violence and what ultimately endures about the film is not its edge but its empathy.
